In 2011 I posted this free pattern of a very simple Christmas tree. Back then I made it with Drops Paris yarn and a crochet hook size 4mm. Yesterday I made another one with Lammy Hawai yarn and a crochet hook size 5mm. The pattern is here. I bought the snowflakes at Dille & Kamille. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

Because I've spent most of my time studying last year most crochet ideas somehow faded to the background. Lately I had moment when I didn't know what to crochet. In the end I always have some nice projects somewhere, but it wasn't as easy as before. As if I had forgotten how it goes. That all changed when I received an email from an American book publisher last week. They asked if I was interested in contributing to a new book. Ofcourse I didn't say no to that :-) The ideas popped up immediately and it was all of a sudden like I was back where I used to be before I started studying: full of plans and ideas. Now all I need is finding the time to do it all :-) I'll keep you updated about the new book, I'm very much looking forward to this!

Ofcourse I'm crocheting myself for the charity project in Romania (click here). This weekend I made a cat. I made it before, but then in another color. And the nose of this cat is different then the other one. Click here to go to the blog post about the other ccat.I made this cat with just 1 ball of Lammy Hawai yarn, a crochet hook size 5mm and scraps of yarn for the scarf. It's a super easy pattern (click here).Do you want to send in toys for Romania as well? Send me an email and I'll tell you where to send it. You can send in blankets, hats, scarfs or other crocheted stuff as well, but as the group will hand it out to children I asked for toys in my first blog post. But all other items are very welcome as well!

This very cute and free pattern is available here on this website. Isn't it a cute hedgehog? In the blog post you will find exactly what materials you will need to make it, and an estimate on how long it takes to have your hedgehog finished. Do you like crocheted hedgehogs?

Isn't this cute? These very big owls are made with Ribbon XL. Click here to see more pictures on the blog of the maker. That blog is really worth a visit. It is written in French, but just going through all gorgeous pictures is fun as well. The pattern is just available in French, and I believe you can only order if you are in France (click here). Too bad, but who knows maybe it will be available in other languages one day.p.s. thanks to a helpful follower I now know that the pattern is available in French in this book.
